• Abstract:
  This report summarizes a 1-day workshop held to discuss national multimodal freight analysis framework (FAF) research. Participants discussed the state of the art, primary gaps in current capabilities, and strategies for addressing these gaps, particularly in the areas of multimodal freight networks, freight-demand modeling, and origin-destination data disaggregation. The workshop was designed to identify a set of topics for further research and to ultimately inform the development of the FAF version 4, scheduled for release in late 2015, and beyond. The objectives of the workshop were to understand the nature and purpose of FAF, outline a vision for the next generation of freight analysis, agree on primary gaps in current capabilities, and create a game plan to address gaps. Expert speakers presented historical background of the FAF, as well as perspectives on the state of the art in three specialized topics covered in focused sessions.
